VIRTUAL SNOW DAYS:
CHALLENGE #1:  EMOJI EXPRESSIONS
Art is often a great way to tell a story or express how you feel. There are tiny pieces of art that we use quite often to help tell a story or express our feelings.  Can you guess what they are? YES! EMOJIS


1.  Choose an event, memory, or situation (for example: how you feel about not being in school right now,
     or how you felt the day you got a pet.)

2.  Choose 5-10 emojis that express what happened or how you feel about it…or both!
3.  Use any size paper that you have and draw out your emojis in
pencil first (TIP: Use a cup and a pencil
      to trace the “face” emoji circle shapes.) Overlap your emojis and put a pattern in the background.
     Then color with crayons, colored pencils, or markers. (see handout below for emoji ideas)

​CHALLENGE #3: CARTOON FAMILY & FRIENDS:
​
Here is a simple way to create a cartoon group of people, like your friends or your family.  Once you get the hang of it, this is a really fun drawing to make for yourself and for other people.  **Please note - this is MY style of drawing, but you can change any part of it to make it YOUR style. Give it a try!

​
CHALLENGE #4:  MARKER POINTALLISM

Pointillism is a drawing technique where you use tiny dots to draw an object or scene. You can make pointillism drawings in black and white: the more dots you draw, the darker an area will be. You can also do it in color, mixing colored dots to add shading. This project works best with markers (Crayola-type markers are perfect for this!) or pens, but you can also use pencils or colored pencils.
​

THE PROJECT: Find a photo of an object or group of objects. On a sheet of paper, lightly draw out the outlines of the object. If you are doing the artwork in color, pay attention to color changes and shadows and try to put those in by layering marker colors. If you are working in black and white, think about how dark or light a color is and try to recreate that in black and white.

CHALLENGE #5:  PAPER SCULPTURE
Turning flat pieces of paper into three dimensional works of art is a little bit like magic. This challenge lets you experiment with some different ways to do that and create a sculpture in the process.


FIRST, THE PAPER TECHNIQUES (you can also make up your own!)

THEN, THE CHALLENGE:
1. 
Find a piece of cardboard for your base (from a shoebox, cereal box, etc.)
2. Gather a variety of colored papers. You can use white paper that you have colored, junk mail,
    magazine pages, etc.  Whatever you can get your hands
 on will work! You will also need glue to attach
paper pieces to the base.
​3. Combine the paper techniques from
 above to create a sculpture       that is interesting to look at from all
 sides.
 You  can make the sculpture NONOBJECTIVE - meaning it does not have a subject matter, it is
just a mix 
of interesting colors and shapes.
4. OR you can design something that DOES have a subject matter, like an Extreme Rollercoaster or
a City of the 
Future or an Obstacle Course.
